Cycle 2 is officially wrapped, and we’re excited to announce the builders taking home a share of the $17,000 USDC prize pool. The Community Council decided to split 2nd place between two builders this cycle: 🥇 Knock by @Kaichao Sun: $7,000 An encrypted chat built on Nimiq where users can set a connection cost for strangers while keeping conversations private. Knock also supports sending and receiving NIM directly in chats, tipping other community members, and joining public group conversations. 🥈 Blacktop by @Jesse Lukose: $4,000 A privacy-first ride companion built for real riders and real rides, whether you’re riding solo or with a crew. Blacktop combines ride tracking with Pay Up, its built-in wallet, plus Blacktank, a shared crew fuel pot that only pays out with a unanimous vote, and instant QR tips in NIM or USDT. 🥈 NIMIQ.kids by @Andjroo Me: $4,000 A family Mini App that turns chores into real NIM. Parents set rewards, kids complete jobs, and approved rewards are sent directly to an account the child owns. Kids can then spend it on screen time and treats, keeping the whole flow within the family. 🥉 PROOF by @Christopher Okunade: $2,000 A learning platform that combines AI-powered skill paths, real-world challenges, and verified proofs to help users demonstrate what they can actually do. The goal is to turn learning into something you can prove, showcase, and use to unlock new opportunities. Big thanks to the Community Council for reviewing every submission and selecting this cycle’s winners. And of course, thank you to everyone who built and shipped a Mini App this cycle. You made Cycle 2 one to remember, and we’re excited to see where you take things next. Want to dive deeper into the winning submissions?

since we have 142 apps submissions, will you guys continue work on your app in regardless wining or not ? for my nimbooks.subimpact.net i will continue optimising it for the betterment of nimiq ecosystem which has practical usage. i konw @Francois Bradette & @Dany Nimiqfr & @Harley NSpace apps would be a fine addition to the ecosystem which i hope post comp will still focus on updating and fine tuning it :)

Hello all, there are still plenty of small fixes/updates to be done with Nimicurl, I'll share them here.

So, after several weeks , months of development, fixes, tweaks, and modifications, I think we’ve finally reached the finish line. I honestly believe we now have a complete and solid product. At this point, I don’t think there’s anything else that really needs to be added. This little app does exactly what it’s supposed to do. You take a photo, confirm a delivery, receipt, or whatever you need to document, and QuickProof sends the photo by email to one or multiple recipients, with the date, time, and description included. Simple, straightforward, and it does the job. So, in my opinion… it’s a wrap! 😎 Now, all that’s left is to wait for Google Play. 🤞 That said, if you’re interested, i am always open to honest, relevant, and brutally honest feedback. So don’t hesitate to give QuickProof a try and let me know what you think. Go ahead — try to break it. 😆 https://quickproof.quickquotetool.ca/

In case you missed it, your app can now open in full-screen! Nimiq Space now can play nicely in landscape full screen, this means all games on Nimiq Pay just got full screen support (update your apps to go full screen on open). Updating this into Cinima as we speak!
